Complex systems that are difficult to reproduce include unmanned air systems (UAS) feeds and additional force elements, including flanking or depth activity.

Some of SCOPIC 2 capabilities that can be reproduced are UAS and targeting pod downlinks from Close Air Support platforms, as well as a handheld observation device, radar and electronic warfare (EW) terminals and ground-based air defence.

“This contract award builds on the work we have accomplished with both the existing SCOPIC contract and our recent AWES award to deliver a world-class training experience.”

Last month, Cubic Defence UK won a contract to continue providing the Area Weapons Effects Simulator (AWES) system training support for the British Army.
